Bitter Words from Elders

Bitter Words from Elders

1. *Value Your Worth: Nobody respects a *rag until their shoes are dirty, so stay in your corner. Don’t beg others to recognize your value; when the time comes, they’ll seek you out.

2. *Be Mindful of Availability: Don't be too *available for people. Sometimes, "longtime no see" is better than "this idiot has come again."

3. *Manage Your Emotions: Control your *anger; it's just one letter away from danger.

4. *Guard Your Vulnerability: Don’t show everyone *your wounds. Not everyone carries a bandage; some may have salt and vinegar to worsen your pain.

5. *Think of Future Generations: Never *plant thorns on someone’s path; your children may walk that route barefoot one day.

6. *Avoid Unjust Hatred: One grave mistake is allowing yourself to be *recruited by someone to hate another who hasn’t wronged you.

7. *Embrace Individual Journeys: Don’t compare your life to others; there’s no comparison between the *sun and the moon; they shine when it’s their time.
